SYMBOL PROJECT #2

In my GRAPHIC DESIGN IV class, we explored the use and methods of symbol making. For this assignment, we were asked to take a celebrity/famous person and use what made them famous in designs meant to capture that celebrity's fame. I chose Jim Lee (C.E.O. of Image Studios) who is a former penciler of comic books and now uses his knowledge of the business to operate the second largest comic book company on the market. This black and white image represnets Jim's breakthrough talent when he started in the business. As a young illustrator, his work was considered before his time. In my piece, I emulated that work and used his style of illustration to show it breaking through the word "comics."
